"Mmmm, that's not helping." Brad laughed slipping his hand under the table to hold hers. He yawned softly, still laughing. "I love when you do that, but it's making me even more sleepy."

"sorry" she mumbled looking away from him

"No, don't be. I like it, it's just putting me to sleep amoung other thing." He told her, resting the tip of his elbow on the table for him to lean on. "Don't be sorry, I'm falling asleep."

"you can go back up to the room " she said "we'll be fine"

"Seems silly, when I'll just wait up." Brad shrugged to her, pressing a soft kiss on her cheek. "I'd rather be here with my girl, and Thomas." At his name being mentioned, Thomas seemed to snap out of his day dreaming state. "Huh?"

She smiled as both there soups came and the waitress sat down she had pitch black hair and green eyes her hair was up in a bun but two pieces were curled and left down cupping her face

"So, Caroline, how have you been?" The lady asked, her bubbly smile still in place. Her green eyes flicked between Caroline and Brad, seeming only now to realize he was here. Though of course, that wasn't true. "Oh, I'm Lotus by the way." She greeted, holding a hand out to Brad. Brad took it with a polite smile, nodding. "Brad, Caroline's boyfriend."

"guys this is my cousin her dad owns the hotel" Caroline said

Thomas smiled softly, his face flushing once more. "I actually talked to Thomas before you two came down. But I never introduced myself formally to Brad." Lotus greeted, pulling her hand back with a smile. "You never told me you had such cute friends though, I'm rather disappointed in you." Lotus teased Caroline, glancing over to Thomas who reddened even more.

She groaned "what for?" She asked

"For not telling me, you had such cute friends." Lotus laughed, smoothing down the front of her shirt and skirt slowly as she sat there. "I've been looking for a boyfriend, and you forgot to mention you had a few options down in LA."

"I've dated them both" she said

Thomas flushed more at the mention of his and Caroline's previous relationship. "But I'm assuming you have more attractive friends, down there on the beach." Lotus insisted, twisting the loose black hair around her finger while she spoke. "Caroline is on the cheer squad, she knows basically all the football players." Brad hummed, intertwining his fingers with Caroline's.

She smiled at Brad kissing his cheek softly but quickly

Brad smiled, leaning over to nuzzle her cheek. "Why are you being shy? I'm sure Lotus doesn't mind you showing a little love." Brad purred, holding onto her hand tightly in his own. Lotus giggled a bit, looking over to Thomas with a flirty smile.

"where's Rania-rae at" she asked referring to her twin sister, her and Rania-rae were extremely close

Lotus turned from Thomas to look at Caroline. "She's took the night off with her boyfriend. The two had a date night tonight. I get next week off." She explained, getting up from the table. "I should get back to work, enjoy your soup!" Lotus hummed out, waving as she walked away.

"dates are overrated" she sighed. She hadn't seen her cousin in a few years and missed her dearly

Brad seemed to stiffen, pulling back from her with a slight frown. "Oh? Why's that?" He asked softly, glancing over to Thomas. He seemed to be in a much dreamier state than he had before, starring after Lotus had left.

She snapped her fingers I'm front of Thomas "aye buddy she's in Vegas you live in la" she said

Thomas blinked back into reality, looking over to Caroline. "A guy can dream, can't he?" Thomas retorted, his gaze catching sight of her as she came around the corner to take more orders. Brad rolled his eyes, standing up from his seat. "I'm heading back to the room." He said sort of coolly, before slowly starting off.

"Bye" she said closing her eyes clenching her fists

"You seem on edge, Caro. What's wrong?" Thomas asked softly, dropping his gaze from lotus to Caroline. "Did I say, or do something wrong?" He continued to question, watching Brad leave looking less than happy.

She stayed quiet for a few minutes until her eyes snapped open "Duck!"she said and just like that shots went off in all directions

Thomas had ducked down, pulling Caroline with him under the table. He was alarmed, yet not terrified. "Who's there?" He asked in a whisper, trying not to make any more of a scene than the gun shots firing off.
